If US doesn't want startup entrepreneurs there are plenty of other countries that have specialized visas to promote entrepreneurs and talent.

For example, UK has "Tier 1 - Entrepreneur Visa" where you can remain and run a company for 5 years. After 5 years, you can apply for extension for another 5 years or apply for settlement.

There is also UK "Tier 1 - Exceptional Talent" visa where you can apply to remain and work in UK without requiring any sponsorship from companies unlike H1B visa in US which requires company sponsorship.

UK is, arguably, even more immigrant unfriendly. One of the main reasons for Brexit was to limit immigration and immigrants' rights. And nobody knows where UK gonna be in few years time, after Brexit procedures are completed..

Untrue. People living in rural areas (outside major UK cities such as London) are against low-skilled immigrants coming from majorly east european countries (Poland and Romania). Do not confuse it with high-skilled immigration which the Tier 1 visas mentioned above are concerned. Immigrants are welcomed in major UK cities such as London where a vast majority voted to "Remain" in Brexit referendum.
